Bye.


Won't be updating here any longer.

I'm contemplating closing Poofresh.

:D

I feel so demoralised right now.
My graphic skills are nada, zilch, non-existent.
And I don't have enough time/inspiration/creative energy to manage a site right now.

Maybe I should go and study business too in uni, HAHA!
Hmmmm no lah, if I really wanna switch I will prolly consider more towards something like psychology or philosophy.
:x


Prolly not gonna submit anything for Crowbar either.
No inspiration, no inspiration, no inspiration.
And maybe I just don't wanna work hard for design.
Maybe I just don't like design anymore.
Even if I wanna work hard, even if I do work hard, even if I open up photoshop and illustrator and maybe also dreamweaver everyday, I just can't seem to produce a single piece of good work.
Maybe I'm just too uninspired and uncreative.
I wanna work hard but I dunno how to.
I should just study something that will guarantee success if I am willing to put in enough time.
Something that requires memorising theories and thick textbooks.
Something way way easier than design.


Design is so fucking exhausting and I hate it so much right now.

This is my blog.
So I shall post a spastic photo of myself.

What is the point of doing this?
I dunno, but it killed 10 minutes.
Now I have 40 more years of boredom to kill, presumably I die when I'm 60.2 years old.

I dislike doing branding.
I'm so sick of the sucky logo I made for the BB anniversary.


Sometimes I wish that I'm back in secondary school.
Just have to eat my notes, memorise hundreds of pages of text and I'd be all set to do well in exams.
And the thing is, I kinda enjoy reading and memorising words.
They make my brain feel full, and I know that I'm okay as long as I'm tired and my brain feels like it's exploding from chunks of information and knowledge.
Now that I've grown up, now that secondary school is over, now that I'm in poly, it's not enough to just know.
You have to know how to apply.
You have to produce.
Knowing is not enough.
You can know how to use all the tools in Photoshop, in Illustrator, in Dreamweaver, in Flash.
But it's still not enough.
You have to use them to produce something.
Something good.
Something brilliant.
Something awfully creative.


It's so hard.


It'll probably get harder, in work.
Have to deal with office politics, financial issues, and if you don't produce, you may say byebye to your job and your pay and your only mode of living anyday.
Even in poly now, at least there are holidays.
But in work?
Can only take sick leaves a few times a year...if you take too many, you'll probably get accused of slacking and then kena fired.
Just like that.


So scary.
I think I wanna strive to go to uni already.
Then I will have to work hard and try to get a scholarship.

I am trying to do my BDS paraphernalia, but I feel fucking uninspired.
It's so freaking weird lah.
I have been trying to do the letterhead and envelope shit for a couple of times already, but everytime I open up illustrator I just end up drifting off and completing other pieces of work instead. (like blogskins)
And then I'm left with the untouched, blank A4 AMYK canvas which is supposed to contain my paraphernalia designs for the BB anniversary thing.
Wtf.
It's not like my creativity is so blocked that I can't do any art now.
The thing is, I CAN do art at the moment, I CAN make blogskins, but I just can't seem to start on the assignments.
Don't understand lah...it's like some unknown force will make me switch to other windows whenever I try to put something down on the letterhead document.
I'm supposed to be doing work on the BDS shit right now and I'm blogging.
Something like that.



The media law slides seriously suck.
I've missed the previous two Mondays so I'm trying to catch up by downloading stuff from blackboard and reading up on my own.
But I always end up adding templates to the slides because they are FREAKING PLAIN.
It's Times New Roman on white background.
How can you expect a student, a DESIGN student, to tolerate reading this kind of blah crap?
The topic itself is already boring, PLEASE, at least DO SOMETHING to the fucking slides.
It is that hard to add a template from the list of templates that MS has already included in the program itself?
I don't think so.
If you can study law, you should probably have enough IQ to click and save.



I sound so bitchy at the moment.
Lol.
Anyway, I've lost a surprising 2kg the past week!
Guess it's expected lah, have been lying around the whole day and not having any appetite to eat much.
Woohoo woohoo.
Feeling slightly better now.

Love 21 Guns, Before the Lobotomy, Know Your Enemy, Viva La Gloria, Mass Hysteria. etcetcetc.

I guess I should count myself lucky that I've completed most of the assignments last week, before I got sick.
Hahaha.
Cuz seriously, my brain is not working now.
I stupidly swallowed whatever little amount of phlegm that has been crawling up my throat, and the rest of it are still stuck in my lungs I guess.
My temperature was 38.something degrees celsius this morning.
$46 and I've still not recovered.
Remind me never to trust docs again, no matter how intelligent they sound.
To make matters worst, I have no appetite, and whatever I eat just makes my stomach feel all screwy and I will ls everything out in a just one or two hours after consumption.
Is the LS due to the meds?
Or do I have a seperate food poisoning sickness?
I'm getting so paranoid.

Argh!!!
After swallowing half a box of Panadol flumax last fri & sat, half the meds prescribed by the doc 2 days ago, my fever is still lingering around and the phlegm hasn't seem to be getting out.
In fact, my cough is getting worst.
WTF.
I hate sitting at home rotting the whole day!
)@*!_)*%!)_*_)!


I think Facebooking and Twittering is just like taking photographs during a concert.
You are noting the moment without experiencing it.
Metaphors.


Or maybe I'm just a backward auntie.
SHEESH I'm only like 19 and I'm becoming more and more auntie already.
Wahlau.


I hate karang gunis.
There are like 3 or 4 different karang gunis in my area and they beep their fucking noisy horns the whole day.
One will come in the morning, another(and sometimes 2) in the afternoon, another in the evening.
The more you come the more I don't wanna sell my old goods to you!!!
Annoy me somemore lah!!
I'd rather dump them or throw them inside recycle bins MYSELF.
Hmph.
*evil*


New layout is almost done.
I like it!
Looks professional.
:D
I'm gonna be an asshole and leave you in suspense until I'm done with all the minute details.

I've made another new layout!!!
LOL.
It's near-completion now.
Just gotta sort out the CSS of the subpages and everything will be up in a jiffy.
Maybe need a few days more though; school stuff I gotta complete first.
>_<

Feeling slightly better now...
Hope I can recover by tomorrow!
